Longreach Development Applications
October 4, 2021
Wall Planning Group (WPG) is proud to have supported a range of local businesses and projects in Longreach, helping clients navigate the development approvals process and achieve successful outcomes. Each project presented its own unique challenges, but through strong planning expertise and stakeholder engagement, WPG secured approvals that will continue to benefit the Longreach economy and community.
Concrete and Landscape Business
For a concrete and landscaping business that has been operating for over two decades, WPG successfully addressed public objections during the notification process. By demonstrating the operation’s value as a resource and service provider to Longreach and surrounding areas, and aligning the project with the strategic intent of the industry zone, WPG secured approval within just 3.5 months.
Electrical Business Expansion
WPG obtained approval on behalf of an established local electrical business seeking to expand. This included a Development Permit for Material Change of Use (Impact Assessment) and Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 2 lots) to create a new industrial warehouse. Approval was achieved within 3 months, supporting the business’s growth and ongoing contribution to the regional economy.
Caravan Park Development
A visionary project proposed the creation of a caravan park with 150 sites, multiple amenities, camp kitchens, and recreational facilities overlooking the Thomson River. Despite challenges such as land access, road openings, flood hazard management, and stormwater issues, WPG navigated the complexities with the State Government and Council. Development approval was secured, along with negotiation of an infrastructure agreement for road construction and water supply. The project is set to enhance the region’s tourism assets and provide long-term benefits for the community.
Outcome & Impact
Through these projects, WPG demonstrated its ability to overcome challenges, balance stakeholder concerns, and deliver results that support local business growth, tourism, and community development in regional Queensland.Wall Planning Group (WPG) is proud to have supported a range of local businesses and projects in Longreach, helping clients navigate the development approvals process and achieve successful outcomes.
